Mothers day Special today men.

Marks Models threw their hat into the ring with a small run of "Irish Wagons"

 

8484 A CIE 5 plank wagon

 

 

 

8585 A CIE Ventilated Van

 

 

8787 Weathered version of the 5 plank wagon

This shows the Marks Models reference number which I thought left a little to be desired

 

 

 

8888 Weathered version of the Vent Van

Nice, but they need grey chassis...

 

I like the fact that one, having a "D" suffix to the number, is intended to be of DSER origin.

 

And they're the right way up. I had to turn the computer upside down and stand on me head...

Found this ad in a 1974 copy of Railway Modeller.

Toyland had 4 shops in Dublin and 1 in Galway

Cost of the mag was 23p

How times have changed

Brilliant Dave - even I was still very young at that time and had not discovered the joys of the hobby - I didn't think there was such interest in the hobby at that time in Ireland - I first became aware of the 'Irish' model trains when I saw a lima 33 repaint with Mk IIs which a friend had received from Santa. My first Irish set was from jouef - remember them as being erratic runners - later on when I began to have pocket money I remember saving for lima; Cl 33, Warship and a Deltic "Meld". A shop in Wicklow town used to do a small run of Lima at end of 70s - early 80s.

Great advert here.

Back on page 39 of this thread I posted some pics of EFSI HO vehicles

Came across this one during the week

littletois, but with the same contents as the EFSI Model

Anyone familiar with littletois?

Any dates when these models were first released and did they all come out together Dave?

[WRENNEIRE]

Not sure Kieran

I will make a few enquiries

Anyone else have any info?

[WRENNEIRE]

Picked this up at the Wexford show

Just realised that the tanker for the kit was supplied by a third party , fully ready to build

S Kits, from Leistershire

Anyone know them, do they have any other useful Irish bits?

Are the window and door arrangements the same on the other side, Dave?

As far as I remember they are or if not they are very close

Away for a few days R & R, I will check when I am sent home

Are these things rar(ish) now Dave, is he no longer doing them?

[Railer]

Still makes them to order, along with the converted weedspray Mk1, Mk3 pps and EGVs. They come with more accurate looking B5 bogies on them now.

[WRENNEIRE]

Rareish Des

One man operation so if you are looking for something you might be lucky and he has some in stock, otherwise it can be up to 12 months before he might be doing them again

[Weshty]

Thanks Dave, I have one of them, nice to know that they are a little bit special.

[Noel]

John from SF has been pretty decent on delivery lead times for my last few orders on GSVs. Usually less that 4 weeks and offered gentle weathering at no extra cost.

[Bobby]

Any idea on value?

[Railer]

The Silver Fox GSVs are usually around €90-€100 depending where you pick on up or order from.

[WRENNEIRE]

Any idea on value?

Value is the wrong word Bobby

These models are very expensive for what you get but unfortunately they are not made by any of the mainstream manufacturers

so if you cannot build them yourself you will have to pay the price

Have a look through his website and check out his stock

http://silverfoxmodels.co.uk/

I also heard that he is making some Mk 2f Gennys for the Gatwick set

He is also making the Driving Trailer that was made but did not run with this set

[Bobby]

Any idea on value ?

[Bobby]

Sorry new to this, I was referring to the Lima set, I have this set (not for sale)was just wondering what sort of value was on it

[Bobby]

I propose to post pictures of all the models produced by Murphy Models in sequence from their days with LIMA to the current models produced by Murphy Models

 

Lima produced models of British outline stock

These were then offered to Lima agent in Dublin, Lexie Tynan

He then accepted or refused the sets and the accepted ones went on general release here

Towards the end of the 90's Tynan retired from the trade and Murphy Models began a relationship with LIMA that saw them produce some of the first authentic Irish railway models

This is their first attempt , set # L105100X33 released in 1997, possibly as few as 300 made.

It was released in the Lima Hobby Range line.

It was classed as a starter set,

It consists of a Cl33 repainted as an A Class # 015 This model had been produced by LIMA for Tynan and was accepted as an Irish loco at the time, the Tynan model was numbered 215.

Coaching stock consisted of a Mk 2D #5228 and a Mk 3 Restaurant # 7115

It also came with a traffo and track.

300 Sets believed to have been produced

This one

[WRENNEIRE]

How long is a piece of string Bobby?

From a collectors point of view you need a mint boxed example including track & traffo and its really only a collector who would be interested

A Class 33 repainted to look like an A Class with a Mk 2 & Mk 3 coach

I have seen them make €100 and up to €250, so its all about condition

Beautiful looking kits Dave, especially the tank loco.

[Andy Cundick]

Slight point of order they're 00n3 not 009,though that is an option and look distinctly unhappy like it.Andy

[Kirley]

Continued to be amazed at what come out of those vaults of yours Dave.

[WRENNEIRE]

Continue to be amazed myself Kieran

Cant remember where half of it came from!

Prompts me to think of jhb171-senior's epic journey on the footplate of one of those 4.8.0s to Burtonport back in the day - and his photo of sheep ahead on the line!
